Description du projet
Faire progresser la science des systèmes alimentaires dans toute l’Europe
Il est nécessaire de mettre en place une nouvelle structure pour relever les nouveaux défis liés au maintien du système alimentaire européen. Le projet FoSSNet, financé par l’UE, vise à établir et à renforcer un réseau universitaire solide et durable axé sur la science des systèmes alimentaires dans toute l’Europe. Ce réseau soutiendra la création d’une nouvelle structure de gouvernance des connaissances et de l’innovation pour le système alimentaire européen, conformément aux objectifs de l’UE «de la ferme à la table» et aux priorités de l’initiative «Alimentation 2030». Le développement du réseau et l’avancement de la science et de l’éducation en matière de systèmes alimentaires se feront selon une approche inclusive afin de garantir la participation de toutes les disciplines concernées, des chercheurs et des acteurs non universitaires à l’avancement de la science des systèmes alimentaires.
Objectif
The vision of FoSSNet is a strengthened and deepened academic network to support a new Knowledge and Innovation governance structure for Europe’s food system. A new structure is needed as the current Knowledge and Innovation system in the European Research Area is insufficient to address the emerging challenges of nourishing the European food system in a healthy, sustainable and fair way. The aim of FoSSNet is twofold, on one hand to establish a permanent pan-European network for Food System Science and on the other hand to advance inter- and transdisciplinary Food System Science and education. This will contribute directly to the farm to fork objectives and FOOD2030 priorities. Developing the network and advancing Food Systems Science and education will be underpinned by an inclusive approach to ensure engagement of all relevant disciplines, researchers and non-academic actors in advancing Food System Science. In order to reach the vision and aim, FoSSNet will 1) develop a conceptual framework and a process for developing food system transformation pathways to create a common language and understanding among food system thinkers, 2) establish, mobilise and consolidate an inclusive inter- and transdisciplinary pan-European academic network for food systems science to bring European food systems scientists and the science institutions together, 3) enhance inclusivity of the Knowledge and Innovation system for a sustainability transformation of EU food systems by addressing sensitivities to power relations and inequities that pervade food systems and contested transformation processes, 4) co-produce research for sustainable food system transformation to remove existing barriers to interdisciplinarity in food system science, 5) build food systems capability through an academy and curricula to ensure the impact of future food system thinkers and 6) create scientific, economic and societal impact by ensuring sustainability of the network.
